When state troopers Joseph Perechinsky and William Jenkins were tasked Thursday morning with checking on a call of shots fired at a home in rural northeastern Pennsylvania, they had no idea about the danger they were driving toward.

Officials confirm the suspect who shot two Pennsylvania state troopers in Susquehanna County is dead as both troopers are still recovering from the ambush.

The shooter killed his neighbor before ambushing two responding state troopers, one of whom has now been discharged.
